Before I got my Caliber, I took a test drive and noticed that the center console armrest moved freely. I thought that Dodge had really gotten this all wrong. BUT, after owning one for almost a month and a half, I realize that they really got it right! I love the fact that I can slap this thing with my arm, or my elbow, and move it anywhere I want. When I want it to stay put, it stays put. I've read a lot of complaints about this on other forums and reviews (mostly from people who don't own one yet, or who are doing a test drive for some crapola crap car mag), but as far as I'm concerened, it's one of the little things that I love about the Caliber. And little things can make a car a whole lot of fun. It's even better when you put some padding on it!

Hey Fitz,

Glad to hear you like it, I was worried since most people are saying that D.C. should fix it.

Good to hear good things about the Caliber.

I like the are arm rest, its the chillzone that is a piece of crap. The vent doesn't stay in place like its suppose to.

 

It does make for a roomy glove box tho

 

Please elaborate! Thank you!

 

Yeah.... I have a bunch of papers in there already.

 

It does store the atlas very nicely, under the tray, the water bottles still fit. The only thing I wish it had was pockets on the back of the front seats. I am trying to find something to work, I may end up making my own.

 

Hey mahal- My console armrest doesn't slide around unless I push or pull on it. So if I've got it in position, and I just rest my arm on it, it doesn't move. I do have a tendency to slap it back when I'm passing someone on a two lane highway doing 65, and then when i've settled down, I'll slide it back forward with my elbow. It doesn't slide around on its own, and I damn sure wouldn't oil the rails, but I kind of like playing around with it. Hope that explanation is sufficient.

Thanks, and good luck- Fitz
